comments

last night was the fourth straight night i have been wide awake instead of dozing off. for some unknown reason i couldn't sleep until around 6 am.i spend the whole night trying to sleep, thinking, trying to sleep, thinking, trying to sleep, thingking.... i might've ran out of things to think about when i caught myself grinning at the comments friends told me over the past months. they're coming incessantly ( well sort of ) in a flashback. some of my favorites are the following:

1. " i think you're a masochist" - tetet saying over coffee engaging me in my juvenile rants

2. " don't go to the mall wearing  skinny jeans!you'll  make people hate you." - darwin 's eternal rant  everytime we meet.

3. "tol, wala ka talagang kwenta"- jepoy telling me after me begging him to help get on our boat. i insisted on jumping into the still water confident that i won't drown because of the life jacket.guess what it didn't work.

4. " ...dol dynamite, pensaba tu mint candy, chene gale kel chocolate adentro" - part of ador's series of text messages for his post xmas gift.

5. " ang yabang mo kasi  " - ate mel  telling me one time we we're having dinner, i laughed my ass off.

6. " i want you to be happy. get a life. flirt. "- sitsiritsit's friend admonishing me during the recently concluded ANC square-off season

7. " akala ng classmate ko mulato ka " - pinoy reporting about a classmate of his who thought i was a foreigner ( yet again ). boy, do i love my color.

8. " you are a V****A, thinking like a P***S" - bestfriend's comment about my stand on a lot of things that does not represent the general female population.

this is what one writes about when he/she's  caught up in those ultra boring days of a supposedly fabulous life.

of dreams and of fish

i'm still chasing a dream. my fish is still in it.

the-afternoon-snack-called-pastil-buddy

months before my latest homecoming, he's volunteered to pick me up at the airport. cool i thought. if there's one person who bugs me so much about going home it's him. he never missed reminding me about it at every opportunity to talk over those little mobile gadgets ( txt and call ).

a week or so before my scheduled flight, he's been doing the countdown like how radio stations do the christmas countdown.

he was in the airport an hour earlier than the plane's (delayed) take off. crazy! i don't think anyone could be that excited ( or so i think ).

i don't really how it was but one day i just realized this person's someone i can't afford not to be part of my life.

it just used to be "heys" and lots of laughters, me teasing how bad his haircut is it made him 10 years older than me, or me constantly picking on his inability to pronounce "r", or me raising an eyebrow on a hilarious case during mock debates. i've been really mean to him with all those teasing...i remember him saying " nah ma'am...."

despite my being a meanie,he'd volunteer to drive me around. he's been excited always to talk about the "pastil" place near jumbo bridge. one particular vacation,we drove there almost every afternoon. i must have eatenmore than 20 sticks of isaw. real good time.

he can crack me up just with a silly text message. just the other day i was telling him how he is not my dinner- coffee buddy.my point in saying is that our friendship is kinda unique in the sense that it wasn't nurtured over coffee and dinner. he retorted saying " so i'm the midnight snack guy...?" i said no.more like the "joyride-pastil" buddy. he protested. boy was i grinning delightfully.

with all the hung ups i have in life, all the insecurities and b*******s happening to me, he's my comfort zone. for some odd reason, he knows just when to be there.he's timing's always perfect. when i feel sick to my stomach because ofmy stupidity, out of the blue i get a good dose of bear hug. i'm a softee who thinks she's a toughie he said. maybe. i guess he knows me well.

i've not forgotten what you told me over the only ocassion we had coffee together. i'm grateful for the genuine concern.

thank you for your friendship.life's a little easier, happier more beautiful with you around!

cheers!
